What Chakra Is Amazonite? (Explained)

Amazonite is associated to the throat and third chakra for two reasons: its abilities as well as its color.

As you might know, each chakra represents a different part of ourselves and every crystal has different abilities to help in those areas. There are 7 chakras, which you’ll find below, from lowest to highest.

• The root chakra (Muladhara): our sense of stability and security.
• The sacral chakra (Svadihsthana): the emotional body, sensuality and creativity.
• The solar plexus (Manipura): self-esteem and your overall personal power.
• The heart chakra (Anahata): love, for ourselves and the world around us.
• The throat chakra (Vishuddha): communication, self-expression and trust.
• The third eye chakra (Ajna): our intuition, perception and overall awareness.
• The crown chakra (Sahasrara): the connection to the divine, transformation and clarity.

Amazonite is loved because it’s an excellent stone for when you feel stressed or are looking for a stone to help you manifest your dreams. It helps you let go of doubts and communicate your needs, as well as give you the confidence to do so. Consequently, amazonite is also called “The Hope Stone”. This stone invites you to let go of negative self-talk and instead open up your heart and mind to the positive.

Because of these abilities, we associate amazonite with both the heart chakra, located in the chest, and throat chakra, located in the neck.

Apart from its abilities we can also look at the color. As every chakra has its own color, we can simply match a crystal to the chakra:

• The root chakra is red, but black stones are also a good match.
• The sacral chakra is orange.
• The solar plexus is yellow.
• The heart chakra is green, but also matches with pink stones. 
• The throat chakra is blue.
• The third eye chakra is indigo.
• The crown chakra is violet, but also matches with stones that are clear or white.

As you can see, the blue/greenish amazonite matches perfectly with the throat and heart chakra.

Amazonite Benefits To The Throat and Heart Chakra

A blocked chakra can manifest in different ways.

A person with a blocked throat chakra might feel like they struggle to stand up for themselves or express their thoughts. You might also find yourself having difficulty making decisions and experience social anxiety.
Physical issues with the throat chakra manifest in the area of this energy center; the neck and mouth. You might experience neck, jaw or throat pains, thyroid issues or problems with the teeth and gums.

If you find your heart chakra blocked, you might find issues near this energy center; the chest. Think of respiratory issues, poor circulation and a weak(er) immune system. Emotionally, you might feel a lack of empathy, or experience bitterness or grief. You may also find yourself struggling to forgive and holding on to grudges.

As amazonite connects perfectly to the throat and heart chakra, it can help unblock and heal these issues. Please beware that crystals are never a replacement for medical help. Always go to a doctor if you experience serious issues. You can then work with your amazonite to support treatment.

Where To Place Amazonite On The Body?

Where you put your amazonite completely depends on what you use it for. Below you’ll find some guidelines for both jewelry as well as meditation, depending on what you are looking for.

As a general rule, it is best to keep the stone on the skin closest to the appropriate chakra, in this case the heart and throat. Depending on your intention you might want to move it to the throat or heart. For example, if you want to let go of grief, place it on the heart. If you are looking to calm your mind and the ability to stand up for yourself, the throat is better, You can also keep it in your hand if you prefer.

Be careful about which hand you hold it in; there are two different opinions on this.

Some say the left hand is your receiving hand, whereas your right is your giving hand. Depending on what you are looking for from your crystal, you can place it on either of those sides. In this case, this left-in and right-out is just the flow of energy through the body which never changes.

Others however, believe that this flow of energy changes depending on if you’re left or right-handed. Your dominant hand (the hand that you write with) is your giving hand and releases energy. Your non-dominant hand is the receiving hand.

You can place amazonite in either hand, depending on what you are looking for. Do you want to receive more confidence (receiving hand) or are you looking to release negative energy (giving hand)?

As you can see, there are some different views. Personally, I would recommend trying out both sides and see how you feel. Crystals are meant to be used intuitively, so use this to determine which side works for you.

If you prefer to wear amazonite, I recommended wearing it as a necklace. Make sure you adjust the length of the chain depending on which chakra you are specifically trying to work with.
